Jim......1 fuel canister for 2 or 3 weeks? Is the JB canister larger than a MSR iso? Or is the JB just that efficient? Seems I go through one large every 4/5 days. That's Oatmeal and 2 large cups of coffee every morning plus some sort of dinner and a fair amount of fish. By my math that would be at least 3 large canisters. I'm not crazy about making fires to cook on unless I'm doing a whole fish.........Sooooo, time for something different......at least for a lengthy trip.

The solo stove showed up and I am very impressed with the construction. No welds to crack.......It may just be a very slick little piece of gear. I think the key, as in any fire, is to make sure your fuel is ready, sorted and available. That little pocket silky saw should come in handy. Before I take it on a rigorous lengthy trip I will give it a week trial run on a base camp trip and give an honest review. If I've been had I'll certainly fess up. Don't want to see any one else spend good money on something useless. I am optimistic however and will try more than just boiling a stainless steel cup of water.
